COLD-FORMED METAL FRAMING
1.00 GENERAL
1.01 RELATED DOCUMENTS
A. Drawings and general provisions of the Contract, including General and Supplementary Conditions
and Division 01 Specification Sections, apply to this Section.
1.02 SUMMARY
A. This Section includes the following:
1. Non-load-bearing wall framing.
B. Related Sections include the following:
1. Division 09 for ceiling-suspension assemblies.
2. Division 13 for pre-engineered metal building.
1.03 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS
A. Structural Performance: Provide cold-formed metal framing capable of withstanding design
loads within limits and under conditions indicated.
1. Design Loads: As indicated.
2. Deflection Limits: Design framing systems to withstand design loads without deflections
greater than the following:
a. Non-Load-Bearing Framing: Horizontal deflection of 1/240 of the wall height.
3. Design framing systems to provide for movement of framing members without damage or
overstressing, sheathing failure, connection failure, undue strain on fasteners and anchors,
or other detrimental effects when subject to a maximum ambient temperature
change of 120 deg F.
4. Design framing system to maintain clearances at openings, to allow for construction tolerances,
and to accommodate deflection of primary building structure as follows:
a. Upward movement of 3/4” and downward movement of 1 1/4 inch.
1) This is a minimum. Provide additional movement potential as required to accommodate
lateral and vertical movements of pre-engineered metal building
without damage to non-load bearing wall framing. Refer to Division 13 preengineered
metal building spec as required.
B. Cold-Formed Steel Framing, General: Design according to AISI's "Standard for Cold-Formed
Steel Framing - General Provisions."
1.04 SUBMITTALS
1. Headers: Design according to AISI's "Standard for Cold-Formed Steel Framing - Header
Design."
2. Design non-load-bearing wall framing to accommodate horizontal deflection without regard
for contribution of sheathing materials.
3. Provide bracing between walls, headers at tops of wall, and bracing back to preengineered
metal building as required to support tops of walls.
A. Product Data: For each type of cold-formed metal framing product and accessory indicated.
